Chapter 694: Luo Xin's Worries

"Hehe......"

The five masters all laughed, but their hearts did not relax, the officials all said one thing and did another, and the better they said in their mouths, the more ruthless they did. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

How did Luo Xin not understand the psychology of these businessmen? Then he continued: "I plan it this way, it's just a rough plan, you can go back and discuss it, and you have to think about it a lot these days, and if you have any suggestions, you can come and talk to this official at any time." ”

The five masters all nodded, but no one spoke, and they all put on an extremely serious appearance to listen.

"There are two plans, one is to have a city ship contact the vassal country, and then announce what goods the city ship company needs every month, you come to declare, and then the city port division will allocate the share, and then you will raise it and send it to the city port company, and the city port department will check the quality. Those who pass the quality test can fulfill the contract. If the quality is not up to standard, not only will the product be returned, but an additional fine will be imposed. If the quality is unsatisfactory for three consecutive times, you will be permanently banned from doing business with the city.

This is only an export, and the goods transported by the feudal kingdom to the Ming Dynasty are also priced by the City Shipping Division, and then introduced to you by the Municipal Shipping Division.

However, whether it is exporting to the feudal state or importing the Ming Dynasty from the feudal country, the city shipping department has to extract 30% of the tax. ”

When the words fell, Luo Xin looked at the five masters, and the five masters were embarrassed. The government draws 30% of this is nothing, don't they still earn 70%?

But......

This is the biggest problem with the government's pricing, if the government deliberately lowers the price when buying their goods, and then sells them to the vassal state at a high price, the government will make a lot of money, and their merchants will make very little money. And there is also a quota issue involved here, when everyone competes for quotas, I am afraid that the price will be lowered, so what else is there to make?

What's even more terrifying is that when the government exercises the rights of the government, it will push the price down to the extent that it has already made them lose money, and then force the share to be apportioned, just like the government collects agricultural taxes, and these merchants will eventually be like those peasants, bankrupt, so they all look at Luo Xin with expectant eyes and listen to Luo Xin's second plan.

Luo Xin chuckled and said, "Actually, I like this scheme the most. This kind of plan, the official is the most trouble-free, just wait for the tax extraction. ”

The five masters secretly said in their hearts: "You are saving trouble, and you are also making a lot of money, we are going to ruin our family." ”

Seeing the expressions of the five masters, Luo Xin chuckled again and said, "The second plan is for the government to jointly establish a company with you. ”

"Company?" The five masters looked confused.

Luo Xin slapped his forehead and said: "The so-called company is that we partner to do a business, for example, we partner to make a grain store, and then we each occupy a part of the shares of this grain store." ”

"Oh!" The five masters nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they understood.

"The government will not invest, but it can be responsible for safeguarding the interests of the Ming merchants, that is, the government will convert the tax part into shares. Then give you some shares of the five major families, and you need to buy this part of the shares with money, of course, not to let you give the money to the government, and the government will collect your money, but let you take out the money and invest it in the company, as a fund for the purchase of various materials in the future. This company is mainly composed of the government and your five major families, each of which holds a certain share. However, the six of us did not divide up all the shares, but only occupied a part, and also took out a part of the shares to sell to other small and medium-sized businessmen, and also set aside a part of the printed stock bonds, which anyone can buy, and at the end of each year, they can go to the company to receive dividends with the stock coupons.

There are also some detailed regulations here, such as the shares of the government and your five major families are permanent shares and are not allowed to be diluted. ”

"Dilution?"

The five masters were confused again, and they couldn't understand the new words that kept popping out of Luo Xin's mouth. Luo Xin explained with a smile:

"This is to ensure the interests of your five major families, and this official has formulated it like this. When the contract is signed, even if the official leaves the city, the later officials cannot change it.

The so-called dilution, just like our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we are ready to invest some money in again, or some other families invest a sum of money in it, or the court in order to protect the interests of the Ming merchants, and the Japanese and the feudal kingdoms to start a war and other factors, this share will change, for example, Lu Fu just occupied 20% of the shares, but because of these reasons, it is bound to dilute his shares and become 10%. ”

Lu Ding and the others are in their hearts, if this is the case, if the government dilutes the shares for various reasons, their family property will be swallowed up by the government. Seeing the astonishment on their faces, Luo Xin said lightly:

"And once we stipulate at the beginning of the establishment of the company that the shares of the government and the five of you are permanent fixed shares, there is no need to worry about the dilution of the shares, no matter how the rest of the shares change, the shares of the government and the five major companies will never change."

The five masters all breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, and they were even more grateful to Luo Xin in their hearts. At this time, they have already regarded Luo Xin as their own people, because from this move, Luo Xin really did not come to trap them, and they had offended Luo Xin fiercely before, if they were to change people, they would not tell them about the organs in this at all, and they would have lost their money when the time came.

"And!" Luo Xin said solemnly: "I can't give you all benefits, but not give you constraints. First of all, if you want to monopolize your shares, you are not allowed to sell them to others, but only to the government and other major families. For example, the Cui family among you doesn't want to do sea trade anymore and wants to quit this company. Or if big businessmen from other parts of the Ming Dynasty want to buy your shares into the company we have built together, this is not allowed. If such a thing happens, the company will not recognize the transaction, nor will it recognize the identity of the shareholder who bought the shares, and will confiscate the shares, confiscate the gold and silver obtained from the sale of the shares of the Cui family, and put the Cui family owner in prison. If the Cui family just wants to sell their shares, they can only sell them to the government and the other four major families.

The method of sale is that the first one is to be purchased by the government and the other four major families equally, and if there is one that does not want it, or if it wants less, the rest will be divided equally among the other families. That is to say, this part of the shares must be in the hands of our people, because in the future, all the decisions of the company will be made by our people today. So I don't want any other forces to be involved in our decision-making circles. ”

The head of the Cui family hurriedly said, "My lord, I won't sell my shares." ”

"It's just an analogy." Luo Xin said with a smile.

"This is a good idea!" Lu Ding applauded: "We don't need others to get involved. ”

"Yes, yes, just us."

Everyone else also spoke, Lu Ding learned about the future prospects from Luo Xin's mouth, and the four masters learned about the future prospects from Lu Ding's mouth.

Besides......

It is certain that the sea trade will make money, and they all know it, otherwise they would not have smuggled it for many years. The reason for smuggling is that I didn't want to open the market before, because I was afraid that the government would be too greedy, but now that I heard Luo Xin's charter, I have considered all aspects for them, where do they not realize that this is a golden job? How do you get someone else to get a piece of the action?

"You still need to go back and think about this, and don't rush to answer me. And you have to have a psychological plan, and the shares given to each of you will not be too much, and of course the government will not occupy too many shares. The market will get bigger and bigger, and we need more money, so this part of the money needs to be absorbed from other small and medium-sized businessmen. And ......"

Speaking of this, Luo Xin became serious and said, "If the government and the five of you lords completely monopolize the business of sea trade, it will definitely cause resentment among other merchants in the entire southeast. Although your five great families have a great business and the government is also powerful, if all the other merchants in the entire southeast are united, and then there are foreign businessmen involved, your five great families will become weak, and you will pay attention to harmony and wealth in doing business, and we have a lot of profits, and it is the long-term way to reasonably transfer a part of the profits. ”

"Your Excellency has a point!"

Everyone nodded. Especially Lu Bing was afraid for a while, he thought that he would even kick out the four major families and monopolize the business of the city. If that's the case, the Lu family is on the cusp of the storm, and it will be ...... by the entire southeast

No!

It is the entire Ming businessmen, and even some families, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty hold a grudge. Sooner or later, Lu will be wiped out.

"It's still Lord Luo's long-term thinking, and he deserves to be the champion of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Of course, those small and medium-sized businessmen occupy shares in a different way than us, their shares can be bought and sold at will, and they don't have to sell to us, they can sell as they please, of course, their shares are not permanent, they can be diluted."

The faces of the five masters immediately had a look of superiority, and they all nodded and applauded. Luo Xin went on to say:

"It is also necessary to set aside a part of the shares and print them as shares for sale, so that the entire southeast people can participate, so that the entire southeast people can contribute to the company they founded, treat the company as their own business, and maintain the company. If the entire Southeasterners are united, what else do we have to be invincible? ”

"Good!" The five major masters applauded.

Luo Xin smiled and said: "This is the second plan, after the five of you go back, you can think about it, and you can also discuss which plan to choose." ”

"Is this still negotiable?" Lu Ding hurriedly said: "Of course we choose the second option. ”

"Yes, yes! Let's go with the second option. The other four masters also spoke.

"Good!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Then you can go back and think about this second plan, what other suggestions are there, and think about how to distribute this share." Remember! Luo Xin's expression became serious and said:

"Don't be too greedy!"

"Yes!"

Luo Xin picked up the teacup, and when the five masters saw this, they got up one after another to say goodbye. Luo Xin sent them to the gate, and the five masters left. Of course, they did not go back to their respective homes, but gathered in the Lu Mansion to discuss the plan for the establishment of this company.

Luo Xin looked at the departing carriage with a smile on his face. Behind him stood He Nian and Wang Ziren, both of whom looked at Luo Xin with admiration, and when they saw Luo Xin turn around, He Nian worshiped the extreme:

"Your Excellency, you know a lot."

Wang Ziren also said with a look of admiration: "No wonder adults can get the top prize." ”

"Less sycophants!"

Luo Xin scolded with a smile, and then walked towards the gate. Behind him, He Nian and Wang Ziren chased after him all the way, and said hurriedly:

"My lord, this is really not a sycophant!"

The two of them chased Luo Xin into the second hall, and saw Luo Xin sitting there with a frown, so they asked cautiously:

"My lord, isn't what you just said to the Five Great Families true?"

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "How can what this official said be false?" ”

"What about you...... Why do you still look worried? ”

"Alas......" Luo Xin sighed and said: "The Japanese are rampant, Hu Zongxian did not send troops, and other Japanese invaders also saw that Hu Zongxian did not send troops, so more and more Japanese invaders poured ashore at sea, and now there are more and more Japanese invaders on the shore, and if this continues, the price will rise." The previous price increase was maliciously caused by the six major families. If prices rise again, then they have really risen. When the time comes, let alone the opening of the city, the southeast will be able to burn high incense without chaos. ”

"That'...... What to do? He Nian and Wang Ziren's faces also changed.

"Tomorrow, the five great families will resume the workshop, so that we don't need to monitor the mechanics, and now that the prices have temporarily stabilized, and the city of Hangzhou has also stabilized, General Qi and my eldest brother don't have to patrol the city, so even if the Japanese invaders come, we are not afraid."

"But...... Food prices ......" He's face was still full of worry.

"Alas......" Luo Xin sighed and said, "Tomorrow, invite the five great families to come, and let them bring all the grain hidden outside the city into the city." Once the Japanese invaders were too rampant, causing the price of grain to skyrocket, they had to ask the five great families to stabilize the price of grain. ”

He Nian still said with a worried look: "Will the five great families do this?" You know, it's like asking them to throw silver out. ”

"We'll see when the time comes. I would also like to take this opportunity to see if they are people who can share the suffering. By the way, let go of the disciples and housekeepers of the five great families that I caught last time, well, let them come to see me first, and I'll ask them to bring an invitation back. ”

Lu Fu.

The five hosts entered the lobby excitedly, sat down the guests, and some maids brought tea and pastries. The head of the Wang family said excitedly:

"We're going to send it this time!"

"yes!" The head of the Zhang family also said happily: "I knew that Lord Luo had such a plan. What are we fighting with Lord Luo? ”
